CREATING VINTAGE CHARM
My friend Sonia has a wonderful new magazine called Creating Vintage Charm. We are having a blog party to kick off her first issue. I can't wait to receive my copy. I thought I would share with you my sun room. I love this small cozy room on the back of my home. I have so many collections, my husband always says what don't you collect, I love all things vintage. In this room I have decorated it with my vintage aquarium mermaids, vintage aquarium houses, shells and lots of things that I have made. I made the shadow boxes to hold my mermaids, in the one shadow box is a picture of my sister and I when we were little, we were about to go swimming in Lake Huron. I made the shelf on the wall with an old drawer from a chest of drawers that was falling apart. I made the wreath with some of my collected shells and sea glass. I also made the mermaid shadow box a couple of years ago. I also collect vintage wall pockets and vintage flamingo's. Thanks for visiting me today and please check out all the other blogs that signed up for this wonderful party. You can click on Sonia's name to go to the list. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Terri
I love your blue/green shadow box, Terri! I like nooks and crannies full of little things.
